Yeah , nico should skip england.. and Australia? I'm not that sure.. but you're right Lynn, He should play challengers on clay.. but who knows... let' hope he get some good results

I'm just so afraid that if he loses Down Under that he'll really be in a huge confidence hole.

On a scale of 0 to 10 right now confidence wise, with 0 being no confidence and 10 being very confident, he has a confidence level of about -100.

I think putting him in a situation where he could do poorly (on hardcourts at the beginning of the season where he traditionally has poor results) when he desperately just needs confidence and just pure playing time to get his timing and groundstrokes back is well...kind of loco. And will set the stage for more losses.

But again, no one calls me on these things... ... so he'll be winging his way Down Under come January...

Nico said that this year he won't go to Palermo, and will prefer to play indoors directly after US Open... good decision
